San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Contra/District Page 3 <br /> District Reference No.20220989 <br /> March 96,2022 <br /> • Advise all on-site service equipment (cargo handling, yard hostlers, forklifts, <br /> pallet jacks, etc.) to utilize zero-emissions technologies as feasible. <br /> • Advise fleets associated with future development projects to be subject to the <br /> best practices (i.e. eliminating unnecessary idling).. <br /> In addition, the District recommends that the County include clean air measures to <br /> reduce project related operational impacts through incorporation of design <br /> elements, for example, increased energy efficiency, reducing vehicle miles <br /> traveled, etc. More information on mitigation measures can be found at: <br /> http://www.vallevair.org/transportation/cepa idx.htm. <br /> I c) Project Related Operational Emissions—Reduce Idling of Heavy-Duty Trucks <br /> The goal of this strategy is to limit the potential for localized PM2.5 and toxic air <br /> quality impacts associated with failure to comply with the state's Heavy Duty anti- <br /> idling regulation (e.g. limiting vehicle idling to specific time limits). The diesel <br /> exhaust from excessive idling has the potential to impose significant adverse <br /> health and environmental impacts. Therefore, efforts to ensure compliance of the <br /> anti-idling regulation, especially near sensitive receptors, is important to limit the <br /> amount of idling within the community, which will result in community air quality <br /> benefits. <br /> I d) Electric On-Site Off-Road and On-Road Equipment <br /> Since the Project consists of a winery production facility, it may have the potential <br /> to result in increased use of off-road equipment (e.g. forklifts) and/or on-road <br /> equipment (e.g. mobile yard trucks with the ability to move materials). The District <br /> recommends the County advise the project proponent to utilize electric or zero <br /> emission off-road and on-road equipment used on-site for this Project_ <br /> 2) Health Risk Screen!na/Assessment <br /> The IS/MND did not include a prioritization and/or health risk assessment (HRA). <br /> Therefore, to determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors, a <br /> Prioritization and/or a HRA should be performed for the Project. These health risk <br /> determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminant <br /> (TAC) air pollutants identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard <br /> Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or <br /> potential hazard to human health. <br /> Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the project, which <br /> include emissions from construction of the facility, including multi-year construction, <br /> as well as ongoing operational activities of the facility. Note, two common sources of <br /> TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth <br />
